The Sociall closed beta is live

Decentralised Self-Governing Social Network

Decentralised

All data and multimedia uploads are stored within the encrypted decentralised storage solution
that is built and maintained by Sociall.

The team is already working on a solution that utilises IPFS,
a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol, for further decentralision of the platform.

Self-Governing

Sociall is slowly moving the entire platform to self-governing. This means that users on Sociall
will be able to assist with keeping the platform clean and safe by removing spam and offensive
posts.

This “self-governing” feature will give the power back to the people instead of having all power
sit with the owning entity. All users that participate will be compensated in SCL for their services.

Decentralised Wallet

Sociall account wallets will be created through a decentralised smart-contract process where
there is no owning entity.

The setup entity, being Sociall, will not have control over any funds kept in a user’s account
wallet and will never be able to process any transactions on behalf of the user – making it
completely decentralised.

Simple wallet SCL top-ups with crypto and fiat are in the roadmap.

Facebook Migration Tool

The team is currently working on a Facebook migration tool to make the move over to Sociall as painless as possible.
Data such as your user profile, recent posts, and friends list can all be ported over to Sociall.

Open-Source

A majority of Sociall’s projects will be moved to open-source just after mid 2018.

The project may eventually open some repositories up to pull-requests, although this is yet to be
confirmed. Outside developers will be able to contribute to the development of Sociall by
creating pull-requests on the public repos. If the Sociall development team reviews the request to
be of benefit to the platform, then it will be approved.

Open-sourcing all of Sociall’s systems displays transparency to the community.

SCL

The platform utilises its own easy-to-use cryptocurrency, called SCL. It is used to pay for all
goods and services rather than traditional money.

Think of SCL as the native currency of the
platform instead of using multiple different currencies that usually come with conversion fees.
SCL is an ERC20 based token on the Ethereum blockchain.

Privacy

All feeds are chronologically ordered. We do not manipulate or change the order of your content.

We do not share your personal information with anyone.

Anything that you delete from Sociall is deleted permanently. We do not store copies.

We do not use facial recognition technology.

No snooping or surveillance on your activities or data.

Don’t believe us? Wait until we’re open-source in the coming months to see for yourself.

Features

Other features worth noting

Secure

The platform is extremely secure. Security audits have been performed by industry leading firms on all aspects of the application to ensure there are no vulnerabilities. 2FA also coming soon.

Instant messaging

Decentralised instant messaging between users on Sociall already exists within the closed beta that is live now.
The team hopes to expand on this by allowing group messages and end-to-end encryption.

Marketplace

Sociall will incorporate a peer-to-peer decentralised marketplace where users on the platform can sell goods or services in exchange for SCL.

Ad Platform

A fully integrated a semi-automatic self-serve ad platform will be added to Sociall.
Users will be able to buy ad spaces in exchange for SCL.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding capabilities will soon be added to Sociall. Crowdfunds on Sociall represent a personal
cause such as an individual user trying to raise funds for a charity, or a family trying to raise
money for medical bills.

Blogging

A section called "Community" will be added to Sociall where users can write blog posts for others to discover. This area opens up the platform and defines a new social aspect to Sociall.

Groups

Create private groups that only you and invited users can view.
All groups have their own private project and news feed that no one else can see.

Events

Create events to organise occasions such as conferences, meet-ups, or anything else you can think of.
Invite people you follow so that they can track the event and contribute to discussions.

Speed

The entire application is a single page app, therefore being lightning fast.
Other services contribute to this such as our image optimisation, sockets connections, and much more.

Cross-Platform

The current web application works flawlessly on all devices.
Mobile applications are in the works for iOS and Android for a better user experience.

Poll posts

Submit a Q&A post to get your followers involved.
Set an end time and make the results public for all to see.
